The iconic pea plant experiments of Gregor Mendel laid the foundations for the science of genetics.   Now 160 years on, an international research collaboration has used genomics, bioinformatics and ...

There is a lot of variation in the measurements of one experiment ... Mendel made to biology. But do all organisms pass their on genes in the same way as the garden pea plant?

Quill: In biology classes, we learn that Gregor Mendel’s experiments breeding pea plants in the mid-19th century taught us that inherited traits are delivered to offspring on pairs of genes ...

Keeping the peas. Mendel did not set out to conduct the first well-controlled and brilliantly-designed experiments in genetics. His goal was to create hybrid pea plants and observe the outcome.

and their separate experiments produced the same results as Mendel's earlier work with his pea plants. Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and Erich con Tshermak each published their own papersin 1900 ...

Kids may wrinkle their noses at peas, but scientists grant a lot more respect for the enormous role the little green legume seeds played in the history of genetics. Working in the solitude of an ...

Ironically, Darwin never found out. The results of Mendel's carefully designed and meticulously executed experiments, which involved nearly 30,000 pea plants followed over eight generations ...
